GDT: Game 19: Finland Vs Switzerland | 1PM EST 7PM CET | SUI 5 - 2 FIN

[snipes]

Just tuned in during the Canada v Czech intermission.

What is happening in this game? I didn’t expect this score seeing it 3-2 Switzerland.

 

[Jussi]

Now I might sound like an arrogant Swede but Isn't Åbo/Turku where he is from one of the places in Finland where a lot of people actually speak Swedish/some swedish?

Turku/Åbo is officially a bilingual city. This is mostly due to the swedish speaking minority, which is present all over coastal Finland.

Kallio isn't bilingual via family to my knowledge but I'd assume he had some basic grasp of the language via school, making it easier to learn the language better.

Wow

4-2 Switzerland

 

[MackAttack26]

4-2 damn there goes my prediction of 3-2

Same... just tuning in. It's 'funny' as the result doesn't matter for the Finns/Swiss as they are going to get Russia/US which are both awful quarter opponents to have.

On the other end... I don't think Russia/US want Finland at all!

I say this with zero disrespect to the Swiss as I think they'll be a tough quarter and realize they took out the Swede's last year.

 

[Jussi]

And that's game.

 

[Opak]

Wow we suck

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Honestly looks like they have no interest being there.

 

[Barkkonen]

BOOO

 

[BusQuets]

Swiss goalie is playing the game of the tournament as a goalie. And just i was writing that Annunen lets in another one.

 

[jonas2244]

Great move by Berni.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

The team defense is so bad. You could see it through the tournament.

Long story short, Paterlini finally started another goalie.

 

[Erikfromfin]

So we are actually losing this match

 

[FinPanda]

Now I might sound like an arrogant Swede but Isn't Åbo/Turku where he is from one of the places in Finland where a lot of people actually speak Swedish/some swedish?

I live in a city where like 33% of the population speaks Swedish as their first language. And other 30% speaks Swedish actually really well.

Honestly looks like they have no interest being there.

Not suprising, not much for us to play for in this game.

 

[JJTT]

Thomson, just how bad can he be? Just useless on both ends.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Knak will be drafted for sure

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

So we are actually losing this match

I actually expected us to lose the Sweden match essentially after the 1st period and honestly thought our offense was mostly luck driven despite scoring 8 and 7 goals in consecutive matches.

 

[Hinterland]

Good. Berni played well so far but we need him to contribute offensively now that Gross is out...

 

[BusQuets]

Usa is easier than Russia to be honest.

 

[Reynys]

Wow... 2-4... Finland... What was that?

 

[DoubleGold]

Happy I haven't been paying much attention this year. Knew this would happen with Raipe + several key players missing.

 

[jonas2244]

Long story short, Paterlini finally started another goalie.

I know you don't like Hollenstein. Charlin plays well and solid but also has quite a few (bad) rebounds. The team is working well to work them out. Hollenstein played great yesterday (beside that mistake which led to the goal). Pretty sure that it's anoither Hollenstein-start in the quarters.

 

[Hinterland]

Swiss goalie is playing the game of the tournament as a goalie. And just i was writing that Annunen lets in another one.

Yeah...but watch Paterlini starting Hollenstein again in the quarters

Alright. Would make sense if he atleast had some knowledge making it easier, he sounded like your typical Swedish speaking Finn. Could obviously learn it anyway but english would be the easier route and it's not uncommon to hear people who has lived here for a long time barely speaking Swedish.
